“…The issues that surround content definition are certainly not limited to the TEI community, in a previous paper we reported on document design issues faced by the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority in implementations of the Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) for the communication of mandated reports [44]. Our paper joined a growing number of studies pressing the case for an improved understanding of implementation issues faced in the adoption of markup languages [30]. There are also a growing number of case studies presenting the experience of individuals involved in document encoding projects, just as there is a growing number of studies counting the tags embedded in sample populations of web documents in a bid to gain a clearer understanding of the phenomenon [6] [45][48].…”

“…On the Internet, documents are concomitant with technology: new information services are taking on documentary roles never anticipated and contributing to a social space that has captured the imagination of scholars, commentators and the public alike. In this space new dialogues are shaped and reshaped with rhetoric, even argument, embedded in the changing mediums and genres of our communication [30][34] [43].…”

Designing digital documents in complex, changing information environments presents a number of challenges for both academics and practitioners. In particular, a number of contradictory views about the nature of digital documents raise questions about what factors shape the task of document encoding. To date there have been few studies that explore the relationship between human document encoders and the documents they produce, where the process of documentation embedded in encoding is the focus. In this paper we argue that to support and improve the processes of digital document development it is essential that we gain a clearer understanding of context and the situated, inter-subjective nature of human engagement in documentary practice. We present a methodology for understanding such documentary practices, which considers digital representation through the lens of practice theory and presents a conceptual framework for understanding the complex and changing dimensions of document encoding that are challenging both research and practice.

“…As Price points out, social media contexts change the way workplace information is written and distributed because they are inherently "provoked and driven by individuals, or groups. We no longer see what we do as publishing to the masses…we arrange [information in] the way that individuals or groups want" [6]. In Price's view, social media environments create an alternative communicative workplace writing experience by highlighting and attending to social-rather than functional-purposes and connections.…”

Blogging for professional purposes: A curricular and pedagogical approach

Technical writing curricula and pedagogy have traditionally emphasized blogging's practical and supplemental role in technical writing contexts. In contrast to such disciplinary conceptions, this paper examines how blogging offers technical writing curricula and pedagogy a more advantageous rhetorical and social genre of workplace writing. Following social media's influence on industry writing conventions and contexts, this paper first describes how blogging emphasizes the social and rhetorical purposes of technical writing. It then outlines and describes a curricular implementation and pedagogical example of a professional blogging course at a regional American university. The paper concludes by analyzing best practices for teaching professional blogging skills and suggesting areas for future curricular research and practice.

“…Other papers discussed documentation methodologies and philosophies, including semiotic engineering [Silveira, Siechenius de Souza, and Barbosa, 2001] and a "rhetoric of objects" [Price, 2001].…”
